Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott as Free Agent: QB's Top 7 Landing Spots in 2025

The Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott won't be entering negotiations for an extension, with the real possibility of Prescott walking out the door in 2025 looming large ... but will he have suitors?

Most are still coming to terms with the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott's "mutual decision" not to enter contract talks as the franchise quarterback looks set to join his head coach and others in a "lame duck" year.

With Dak's monster cap hit of $55 million, the Cowboys by not extending Prescott, are severely limiting their ability to improve the roster - which might have been the plan all along.

So as it stands, Prescott will be playing for a new contract in 2024 and there is every chance that come the offseason, Dak will hit the free agency market and the Cowboys will be looking for a new quarterback.

But in doing nothing with Dak's contract, have the Cowboys managed to get a sniff of leverage over Prescott? How you say? Let's dive in.

While the thought of Prescott walking out the door for nothing next offseason while also swallowing his massive cap hit is the stuff of nightmares for Cowboys fans, is the organization calling Dak's bluff when it comes to negotiations?

Maybe. But ... if Prescott does walk to free agency in 2025, will there be a big market for him?

Let's take a look.

What will the Steelers do after this year's Russell Wilson/Justin Fields experiment? Is Sam Howell the Seattle Seahawks' long-term plan behind Geno Smith? How about the Las Vegas Raiders or the Denver Broncos? In Tennessee, what if Will Levis doesn't work out? Could Dak "go home'' to the Saints? What is the plan in Minnesota?

And a fun one: How much would the New York Giants - if they don't draft a quarterback - love to try to beat Dallas with Dak on their side?

So out of 31 NFL teams, there seem to be viable destinations for Prescott next offseason.

The situation is far from ideal as the Cowboys appear to be heading toward a rebuild in 2025. If you are a regular follower of our own Mike Fisher, who has been saying this for weeks, you know this is nothing new. (See "Blow It Up!'')

Prescott will again be betting on himself in the 2024 season and after his Pro Bowl efforts last year where he finished second in MVP voting, we can't blame him. ... as we believe he's seeking $60 million APY.

What both Dallas and Dak need to grapple with before they truly move on: Maybe he grass isn't always greener.
